And a HC request:

If McNair stays with Easterby, then I'm done.

I could live with Caserio. He's supposed to be a really sharp guy contrary to some of the other Patriot imports...

I want to move on from the Patriots, no team has been able to emulate the Pats, and I want a real front office. A GM who is the boss, he is the personel guy. He picks the HC. Like most teams in the league.

Without Belichick, this system has not work anywhere else in the league.

I thought Caserio had signed a new contract with the Krafts and therefor was
untouchable to any other NFL organizations ?

Understandable. However, it's early in the Belichick/Brady breakup and Belichick's team is not doing that great and Brady's team is doing fine. So, it's possible the greatness that is Brady contributed a lot to Belichick's rep. Probably need a few more years to make an accurate call on that...

I don't know. Just looking at the links from Painekiller, it looked like Caserio is available for interviews.

[Warren]

When the NFL changed up the rules related to hiring in May, they added a prohibition on restricting opportunities for upward mobility through employment contract provisions, such as requirements for the employee to decline interview requests or that the team be compensated if the employee moves, etc. So Caserio can interview if it's for a promotion.

I have seen reports that they requested interviews with Scott Cohen (Ravens Director of Football Research), Trent Kirchner (Seahawks VP of Player Personnel), Malik Boyd (Bills Director of Player Personnel), and Alonzo Highsmith (Seahawks Personnel Executive).

On the HC side, Matt Eberflus (Colts DC) and Brian Daboll (Bills OC).

It has also been reported than O'Brien is talking to Nick Saban about the Alabama OC vacancy.

I was lucky enough to meet Alonzo on a flight back in the days he was a scout for the Packers. I really came away impressed and he was a very likable guy. He has been with a few very good organizations and I for one would be happy to see him end up here in Houston.

Mothership announced they interviewed Omar Khan for GM... very interesting candidate. Has been with Steelers since 2001 and is seen a bit more as a cap guy than traditional scout (though he's been in pro football since graduation from Tulane). Considering the team has some cap obstacles to overcome in 2021 and not many high picks where he could lean on his college scouts, it seems particularly intriguing, especially short-term where the team will build with free agents and contract extensions.

But Khan seems like a guy the Steelers have groomed as a future GM for awhile now. What's crazier is he has a connection to Bill Cowher should Cowher ever decide to be a NFL head coach again. Might a hiring of Khan be also paired with a courtship with Cowher?

And if not Cowher, recall that before becoming the Ravens DC, Marvin Lewis was Cowher's LB coach in the mid-90s... probably a good recommendation in there.

How's he related to the Jags owner ?
Anyway no way the McNair family hires a Muslim dude, not gonna happen.
